Looking into your wardrobe and thinking, ‘Wow, I only have black, white and shades of grey laying around?' To be honest, colour matching is quite the hardest thing for anyone to master. Most people love to play safe that they are comfortable with, rather than choosing colours that are vibrant and bold.
You don’t have to be afraid of colours, it’s not as difficult as you think. Just start off with simple fashion styles to add into an outfit. After all, there aren't any rules when it comes to fashion, think of it as a new extension of yourself.
Choose Your Colour Palette
With the endless cycle of black, grey and more black outfits, it’s quite easy to get bored of it. Not to mention, sometimes it might affect your mood too.
You can build your wardrobe based on the colour palette which allows you to mix and match easily. Start with the colours that you are drawn to. You can easily download a Pinterest board to help put the outfit together. It does help you list down what colours fit best and what needs to go.
Add Colours with Accessories
As the cold season is ending soon, it’s hard not to get stuck in a dull colour scheme. All you would focus on is keeping yourself warm instead of bothering too much on the style or colours. Well, there’s another easy way, you can spice up your look just with accessories.
Just choose one statement piece that you are comfortable with before adding more accessories to create a balance that matches your outfit based on the size or colour. Work with vibrant and fun accessories like a Celine bag or a punchy blue belt that can take your outfit to the next level.
Start With One Colour From Head to Toe
Whether you are shopping at the mall or even getting ready date night, it’s natural you want to dress to impress. You might feel a little uneasy when experimenting with a new colour scheme, worried that you might look weird.
Choose the best colour that matches your skin tone, hair and eye colour. Avoid choosing the dark colour that you would usually go for. For instance, if your go-to colour is grey, why not try pink and grey together? There isn’t any limitation with these two-colour combinations and you can match these colours all-year-round. Isn’t that a bonus!
Coordinate Your Lipstick to Your Outfit
Matching your lipstick to your outfit is an easy trend to master, but it doesn’t mean that each and every item of your clothing fits the occasion. Most people tend to use familiar tones to avoid a makeup catastrophe. Don’t feel bad if you can’t properly match the colours.
Try coordinating your lipstick with a particular accessory. If you are still unsure, it’s easier to start by picking a clear lip gloss with a hint of pink to complete your look without drawing too much attention away from the way you dress. Nothing can go wrong using a hint of natural makeup shade.
Pairing with a Jacket
It’s time for us to welcome the warm season which means switching back to clothes that makes you feel cooler. And it can be quite troublesome to figure out the perfect outfit to wear. Finding the right layer to match your inner outfits is a bit tricky, if it turns chilly during the evenings. But don’t fret, it’s not worth overcomplicating things!
The best way to go is matching your coat with the shade of your shoes or bags. If you are confident in yourself, switch it up with a bright coloured windbreaker. Besides, you can easily stuff it inside your bag without having to carry them around with you.
Colour Block Your Outfits
Colour blocking is another useful style that could not only add colours to your outfits but also brighten up our mood. Doesn’t it make you smile looking at the bright pop colours.
But to create the perfect colour blocking outfit, choose two colours that you think will go well together and pair them up. Like wearing a light pink blouse with some dark blue cigarette pants. If you plan to start off slowly before getting ahead of yourself, use a colour wheel to help navigate you with the colours that you could go for.
Adding a little extra colour into your wardrobe with different small shades of colour does bring your outfit together. It’s also a good time to ditch those dark grey colour wheels and pair up with some complementary combinations. As long as you feel confident in yourself, the “oh-so-special” look will come in naturally.
